Despite its charming village vibe, Kings Langley is deceivingly close to local transport links for journeys regionally, nationally and internationally, making this a fantastic choice for commuters.
More and more people are now looking to the suburban villages on London’s peripheries to experience the best of country living without compromising on city convenience, and Kings Langley certainly does not disappoint.
Situated in south west Hertfordshire, less than five miles from Watford town centre and little more than 20 miles from Central London, residents can commute between the city and home in no time at all.

Introduction of Oyster Fares
Talks are currently underway to extend the Oyster Card from Watford Junction to Kings Langley to reduce prices for passengers travelling into London and to ease congestion for those driving from the village to Watford in order to use their Oyster. This follows the pledge from the Mayor of London back in 2011 to introduce the scheme in the Hertfordshire village, which has seen a significant increase in residents looking to settle in this desirable commuter location.
